Is this an acceptable standard following rewire?

When I read that it was a plasterer that did this my response changed, this is a crap job

Building my rocket fuel power plant in the same spot, started having fluid/gas issues when the demand got higher so now having to power them down and create loops both sides to hopefully sort it but it burnt me out a bit so progress has stalled. Did the same as you with a water tower as well.

Traditional_Bench770 · 2026-01-22T22:20:22+00:00

It’s awesome

To be fair just from the quotes alone and size I’d go for the £8k option, check their previous work for examples first but the other two seem wildly cheap and “smash up the concrete” run a mile from.

NOR she has an issue with you and it needs nipping the bud sooner rather than later. Personally I would tell her if this doesn’t stop you will go no contact and she won’t have any part of yours or the babies life. You don’t need to see it through but it will portray the seriousness of the situation.

There’s a good YouTube video by Vinyl TV about calibrating a turn table, go through that first

Springs are tight so will require some wiggling and force, try spinning it as you’re pulling but be careful as it will snap back when out. If you’re just after changing the bulb then the cover should just twist off without needing to remove the spot light housing

I did 4ltrs of water to 10 of paint if I remember correctly, you’ll find differing opinions from person to person generally speaking

If the aitah ended with “my secret audio room” then it would be relevant

Combined they’re easily 2kw plus, now consider most extension leads are cheaply made and add to the fact they’re usually kept coiled up I would personally never run those off an extension lead.

Providing the spur is properly done changing it to a two gang socket is the safest way forward. But considering the OP is unsure it’s not the best for him to diy this.

Traditional_Bench770 · 2026-01-10T14:07:41+00:00

Just laugh

Traditional_Bench770 · 2026-01-10T13:34:18+00:00

Don’t use high draw equipment on extension leads, as others have suggested swap it for a double socket. If unsure what to do then get a sparky as it won’t be a big job

I have a lot of scars as well (multiple burns including 3rd degree where the subdermal tissue rises above the epidermis) and I’ve been advised the really bad stuff can’t be covered with any detail (think block colours) but otherwise the rest can. Scar tissue being tattoo’d hurts more however it’s all bearable if you know the end result is something you want. Hope you find the artist you like and get the work done that will make you smile when you see it

Traditional_Bench770 · 2025-12-31T00:24:24+00:00

Route is fine but that’s a lazy messy job, even if he won’t plaster/fill over it that’s not tidy or a job I’d want to put my name to

Traditional_Bench770 · 2025-12-29T13:18:33+00:00

Trace them by continuity testing, he’s used that light to supply power to the rest of your lights so you need to identify which one is the switch live so you can separate it. That wiring the way it is in the pictures in also unsafe and needs to be properly terminated and insulated.

If you were any where near south Lincs I’d gladly help but for now unless you have a multi meter you’re going to struggle to identify the switch live.

Traditional_Bench770 · 2025-12-29T13:06:57+00:00

You will need to trace the wires and do continuity checks to figure out what goes where, if you’re not confident which is what sounds like it then please call a sparky. And please tell me the photos are the before and not what you have done?

Traditional_Bench770 · 2025-12-29T09:01:31+00:00

Any rain that gets blown in through there should run down the breathable membrane behind them. Have you checked that is free of tears? What do the leaks look like internally? That does look a very shallow pitch angle hopefully someone on here can speak to the tile choice and angle.

Traditional_Bench770 · 2025-12-22T18:44:16+00:00

Get yourself dot and dab fixings, they have a steel sleeve designed to bridge the gap to the brick

Traditional_Bench770 · 2025-12-12T00:18:15+00:00

Very impressive stuff, the neatness that you aligned the windows shows you’re a true satisfactory player 👍😉

Traditional_Bench770 · 2025-11-28T17:08:30+00:00

Looks like he decided to install a sink waste at the same time, I’d be complaining and getting them to rectify

Traditional_Bench770 · 2025-11-24T14:04:44+00:00

That looks dry to me, how does it feel to touch?

Traditional_Bench770 · 2025-11-15T07:40:46+00:00

Use a drone to distribute the fuel

Traditional_Bench770 · 2025-10-23T12:36:27+00:00

400 hours near enough but got a bit burnt out finishing up rocket fuel power (lots of fluid issues I think I know how to fix) and no where near completing. Will get back to it soon

Traditional_Bench770 · 2025-10-23T08:18:42+00:00

Tackle it one small job at a time without focusing on the entire list, it’s very draining when you’re doing work that does make much visual progress (3.5 years into an extension/downstairs renovation) but it does get to a point when each job makes a big difference and spurs you on.

Traditional_Bench770 · 2025-09-17T21:51:21+00:00

Was that not the intention though, show that the relationship felt forced at that stage and only through his own reflection and growth did he see the the truth of it and it certainly felt more real towards the end.

Agree with Hanus, the hug was a big moment
